Peer Tutoring Video Response

In the video, I thought that many different styles of peer tutoring were displayed. The girl who was tutoring the guy on the paper about music was asking him what he wanted to change, as opposed to just reading it and making corrections of her own. The guy tutoring the girl on the paper about social disparity, however, seemed to be a little more intense. The girl seemed to be a bit lost and he jumped right in and helped her find her thesis and gave her different ways to incorporate everything she had already written. The two guys who were talking about their experiences and opinions of peer tutoring made a very valid and fitting point that you have to tutor each student differently depending on their skill level, writing style, voice, or stage of writing. The two scenes in which we see tutorials happening compliment this statement because the tutors are using different approaches to help the different students. The video only strengthens my belief that peer tutoring is extremely beneficial and necessary to a collegiate setting. Students who want to become better writers can use it as a helpful source, and students who really need help learning to write can do so outside the confines of a classroom.
